It was a let down this time at Goose & Gander the first time we really enjoyed the food 2 years ago, but this time the food was mediocre.

We had a beautiful dinner with friends from out of town in the outdoor courtyard. The waitstaff was excellent, the food was incredible, and the ambience was perfect. We found the wine list to be extensive and the drink list outstanding This is definitely one of the best choices in the Valley for having an intimate, special dinner with close friends. As a special note, the chef printed out a copy of the recipe for the mushroom soup which my friend had and loved. Cheers!

Wonderful experience, food and service! We shared a grilled chicken breast that was so tender and delicious. The duck fat fries were amazing. Looking forward to going back.

Goose & Gander continues to impress. G & G has a wonderful atmosphere to go along with excellent food. Service was spot on, our waitress was attentive but not intrusive. Shelly is the hardest worker in the restaurant. We definitely will be back soon.

Everything we ordered (4 of us) was delicious. We all were served simultaneously. Waiter not only provided excellent service; he did it with a sense of humor. Manager came over to check on us.

Not worth the hype for food. The burger was just empty calories... the meat had no flavor. The bun was too strong...almost like a wheat bun. The flavorings added nothing. I love a messy burger and this was just mess for no reason. If you're in the bay area, go to 310 burger in Albany... they make the best messy style burger anywhere. Plus the duck fries... no added value as they tasted like regular fries. The risotto itself had no flavor, but the added shrimp was perfectly cooked. The mushroom soup was stellar. The desserts average. All in all it was just food. Nothing special.

Another exceptionally great experience with Goose & Gander. From first greeting and seating us to the attentive but not rushed service, to the fantastic food and drink, it’s all there. One in our party said his filet mignon was the best he’s ever had. And he knows from many other spots in many different places. I am ready to return already.
